Nice Video, just one question, is that the same view the 55 saw of the Buick?

If I borrowed the Buick, you would see less of the tail lights that that, and that Buick has allready beat that 55, it dont need to go through the wear and tear to do it again.  Besides you cant run with the pu I race and it dont have nitrous. Now I have a car, the heads are going on today, maybe get the engine in the car today also. No need to dust the 55 off, you could never run with anything I had anyways.

Is this going to be another one of those borrowed cars,or do you finally have a car of your own for once. Hope it's gonna be faster than the malibu {with tons of nitrous} you had or your not gonna be threat.

Borrowed car? Who ownes the 55? I race the pu for Jim@ 62 salvage. Other than that I have owned everything I have raced, 56 ford pu, 78 Malibu(maroon one), 69 Camaro, 69 Wagon, 79 Malibu (white one), 71 Camaro, 89 Daytona (converted to rear wheel drive, 8.44@167 with me driving, 10 inch tires and mufflers. 450ci bb chrysler), all cars were bought and paid for out of my pocket. All registered in my name only. As for being a threat, you were never even close to running with me. When my dad was alive, he spent money on parts, we both enjoyed racing, like you and our dad. You couldnt run with the Malibu off nitrous and you using nitrous. As for current car, get ready, I about have the engine ready to go in, will be looking for everyone at Sonic soon. Going to pull into the spot reserver for #1, see if anyone wants to step up to play.

Well honestly if the rumor I heard is true (dont take this wrong) your stupid if you run that on the street. I hope nobody is dumb enough to line up next to you either thats WAY too much HP for the street If the rumor is true.

Whats the rumor? I love hearing good stories about me. All I got is a sb, with a cheater system. How bad can that be? Having too much hp is only a problem if you cant hook it up. Remember, you saw it on this thread, I am no threat, even with tons of nitrous. Read below each of my posts, Rob, i dont have bb's down there, thems cannon balls.

I hear between the motor and nitrous it was supposed to put out 1100

Well we know why jerry was in town now,had to bring good buddy some hp. He even talked him into parking in his stall at sonic.

Dont buy into the rumors, engine wont be anywhere near that and I wont run that kind of nitrous to get to that level. The cranks shaft in my engine wont handle it. 750-800hp total will be pushing the limits of what I have. All of those BB's and Bryan can quit shaking at the thought of me having 1100hp. That is like the stories you hear about me and nitrous, I tried running more nitroue in plates systems before, but never worked, 1 200hp cheater plate is the most that ever worked good for me, no matter how many plates I had on the car, only 1 was working. Now I was know to have several bottles, 4 under the front seat of the 56 pu, and 4 in the wagon, most all other cars had 2or 3. See back then everyiones favorite thing was to race you till you ran out of nitrous, then they might beat you. and that one race would be all that they talked about. I didnt get to see Jerry when he was here. Where did the engine in your car come from Bryan?

Who owned the motor in the Daytona?I heard it was a guy from Duncan, so you are still on borrowed equipment.  Where do you live? I believe in a school house with Richard. NO wonder you want to know about guys in panties, you still need a sugar daddy.  Oh by the way I own the 55 and the 406 was built by Daryl Smith, not Jerry and I have changed it up except for the block and pistons, and I assure you it runs alot better now than in the past!

I made some passes in the Daytona, but it was bouoght for the purpose of running Phil Cooks engine. Phil raced the car, still does, I never borrowed his engine, we were partners on the car. Very simple. Ok now to your engine. My question was, where did you get your engine, not who built it, and since you want to show its pedigree, I will give everyone a history lesson. Jimmy Wright had bought Joey Clicks green Nova. BB, T400, car. He liked 355's, so he had Jerry build him a 355 with aluminum heads, roller cam etc. The car never performed with this combination, Jimmy Hall out ran it, I did with the wagon, it ran 8;o's.  He pulled the engine, blaming the car, not the engine. He bought the blue Lauritzen/Wright/Smiley Nova back. Him and Jerry had one of their many fueds, and wernt talking. He had Darrell Smith take the 355, and make it a 400. Jimmy wanted to get a 6 second et slip like allot of us allready had. He took this 400 to Faxon, made 1 nitrous pass, blew the head gaskets, burned all of the plugs and no telling what other damages were done. He got a 6;90 something pass out of it. He tore the engne down, sold everything, car parts, all hot rod parts had to Butch Smiley. Butch then took a bunch of parts to Jerry and had Jerry build him a 400 with aluminum heads for the blue Nova. Some where along the line Jerry got the Nova and engine form Butch. Jerry then sold you the engine. I dont know what you have changed stuff since you have had it, but you bought a Jerry built engine. That is the pedigree on that engine. No doubt it runs better, I have heard you ran some mid 6's with it. Now as for the other stuff in your post, this is a msg board for racing and things related to cars. As I have stated on another thread. Everything I say on here is meant to be taken in fun, with a good dose of since of humor. If I offend anyone, let me know and I will apoligize. And it wont happen again. I take everything that is said to me on here with a since of humor. I assume we are all having fun on here. Now lets keep all of the personal comments off here. Lets limit the stuff on this board to cars. And most of all, have fun on here. Now if you dont like some of the things I say, we can settle things in a manley way, lets line them and race.
